Raspberry Trifle

Tomorrow is Christmas . . . holy cow! How in the world did that happen?

This year has come and gone way too fast . . . I really wish life would SLOW down!

I have a definite winner to share with you today. This trifle is probably THE best trifle I have ever had. I am not kidding, it will blow you away! I got the recipe from my dear friend Pat. She is a fabulous cook and always has the best recipes. You will think you have died and gone to heaven when you taste this. Your taste buds will be smiling!

The sweetened condensed milk just takes this over the top. The flavor combination of the raspberries and the vanilla pudding layer paired with the pound cake and whipped cream make this dessert out of this world. It’s also so dang pretty to look at.

I had a dinner party at my house on Friday night and I made this for dessert. It was so fun to watch everyone eat it. . . They they were oooooing and awwwwing with every bite. After everyone left our house, I told my husband I just needed one more little taste of the trifle. I got it out of the fridge and between me, my husband and my son Zach, we managed to finish it off. We didn’t mean to, but none of us could stop eating it.

I’m making it again for our Christmas Eve dinner tonight and I can’t wait to have it again.

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy this season with your loved ones.

If you can't find the sweetened frozen raspberries, you can just buy the unsweetened ones and put them in a bowl to thaw and just sprinkle some sugar on them to sweeten them up. Also, the recipe called for just one pound cake but I didn't think it was enough so I bought two and ended up using about 1 1/2. The frozen Sara Lee ones were a little pricey I thought, especially for how small they are so I ended up buying mine from Walmart's bakery and they were really good.
